K-9

The use of police dogs goes back to the early 1900’s and their continued use is becoming more widespread because of the tremendous value they offer law enforcement and a community. Dogs have a keen sense of smell, have the advantage of greater speed than their human counterparts and enhance officer safety by offering protection to officers in many situations.

The City of Sherwood Police Department has utilized police dogs since 1996, both as tracking dogs and drug detection dogs. The City of Sherwood Police Department is proud to introduce its new K-9 team of Officer Corey Jentzsch and Irma.
